An Israeli airstrike killed six people at a Gaza hospital in Khan Younis

The Health Ministry said the strike hit the hospital’s surgical wing. The Associated Press reported that parts of several floors were severely damaged or destroyed. The Israeli military said it took steps to limit civilian harm and was investigating reports that medical workers and patients were killed, NBC News reported. Hamas has denied Israel’s allegation that it uses the hospital to shelter militants. Goher Rahbour, a British surgeon volunteering at Nasser, told the AP the strike came just after midnight and shook the building; he had operated alongside Abu Shaira hours earlier.
